I looked at the comparison tables that
SourceBoost published on their web
site. The first thing I noticed that this
compiler doesn't support stucts and
unions. One of C's strengths is that one
can create one's own variable types by
using structs and unions. Due to their
absence I wouldn't advise anyone using
this compiler, or any C-compiler that
lacks these language elements, for that
matter. Neither for professional nor for
hobby use. Their absence causes bad
design, worse testing and worst main-
tainablity. The overheid with respect to
code size and execution speed they incur
is neigh negligible.

Love to hear from you.

Why should a C-compiler support any OOP elements, then you can call it a C++
compiler.
